TYSON FURY and his dad John have jetted to Menorca ahead of Anthony Joshua’s showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King, 34, has spent the week feuding with Derek Chisora but appeared to be in a happier mood at the airport.
He filmed a short video of his father which he uploaded to Instagram, asking the 58-year-old where they were headed.
Fury Snr. revealed the Spanish island of Menorca as their destination and his son responded excitedly, shouting one of his favourite phrases: “Get up!”
The Gypsy King also showed off in the airport and was filmed shadow boxing as he waited for his flight.
The Fury’s are set to watch AJ take on Usyk as he looks to reclaim his heavyweight world title belts and John had some words of advice for his compatriot.

He said: “I’d go for body punches, I’d work the body. Plenty of punishment downstairs, bring them up through the middle and around the sides. If he gets that game plan, who knows, I think he can do it.
“But it’s going to take devil in his work, aggression and him to be a bully and the worst form of human being he’s ever been in that night.
“He’s got to change his character completely. He’s got to be a demon when he’s in there, otherwise he’s going to come up second best because you can’t outbox Usyk as he’s just too tricky.
“But what he can do is out strength him, out game him and use his size and his weight to his advantage. He needs a lot of that [heart], if he gets all of this, you get an AJ win. Anything less, Usyk [wins].”

Fury has backed Usyk to win again – just as he did ahead of the first fight last September.
In June the heavyweight world champion claimed the Ukrainian is “too cute, smart and quick” for Joshua, and he believes Usyk’s southpaw stance will cause problems again.
But this week Fury has been more preoccupied with his war of words with Chisora.
After going back and forth with Delboy this week Fury said on Friday: “I see Delboy’s at it again. He’s confused because he lost that £2m I offered him because stupid 258 [MGT] said no, they wanted three.
“Talking like absolute mugs. Never seen idiots like them in my life.
